Hey guys. I could really use some help here. I bought myself a Samsung 830 for my MBP and it's not being detected as a valid installation directory after I install it. I was however able to detect it after booting up with my old HDD so I loaded up disk utility and formatted it as HFS+ and with 1 partition. Is there anything else I could try? this is driving me nuts!
Got a tip for us?
